Oh no, this is gonna be a hard war to fight, Oh no, casualties are building up on both sides, Oh no, but is there any real place to hide, Oh no, but is there any real hope to survive, Oh she is a girl that is most fine, And I’m working really hard to make her mine, But in war there’s always pain on both sides, True love is the thing that I hope to find, It’s so very hard to win a place, In a woman’s heart when she fights real hard to keep you from a first date, I’m gonna make her mine, I’m gonna find a way yeah, To win her stubborn heart, To take her on a date, I’m gonna make her mine, I’m gonna find a way yeah, To win through love and war, To win my rightful place, Oh she fights me with a super heated fire, But she doesn’t know that it feeds the flames of my desire, I know I’ll make it to her one day, And I really don’t care if I burn along the way, It’s so very hard to win a place, In a woman’s heart when she fights real hard to keep you from a first date, I’m gonna make her mine, I’m gonna find a way yeah, To win her stubborn heart, To take her on a date, I’m gonna make her mine, I’m gonna find a way yeah, To win through love and war, To win my rightful place, If I fight there’s a chance that I might lose, Everyone will hear about the news, Surrendering is a choice that I refuse, I’d rather die from war and that’s my attitude, I’m gonna make her mine, I’m gonna find a way yeah, To win her stubborn heart, To take her on a date, I’m gonna make her mine, I’m gonna find a way yeah, To win through love and war, To win my rightful place, I’m gonna make her mine, I’m gonna find a way yeah, To win her stubborn heart, To take her on a date, I’m gonna make her mine, I’m gonna find a way yeah, To win through love and war, To win my rightful place,

Lonely hearts and lonely days never seem to fade, I’m lost and I can’t find my way, I’ve made mistakes and the price I’ve paid, Someone let me know how I can escape, From this dark, From this maze, Someone let me know will it be ok? Will it be ok? People will find that I’m stuck in this state of mind, Where I’m fighting myself, Yeah I’m fighting myself, Maybe in time I will finally free my inner self, My inner self, Oooh, I needed light I needed rain, To wash away the dirt stains, I fear that I’ve gone insane, I’ve made mistakes and the price I’ve paid, Someone let me know how I can escape, From this dark, From this maze, Someone let me know will it be ok? Will it be ok? Will it be ok? People will find that I’m stuck in this state of mind, Where I’m fighting myself, Yeah I’m fighting myself, Maybe in time I will finally free my inner self, My inner self, Oooh, Loneliness can’t always control my life, I’ve got to move on, I’ve got to get by, Happiness leads to a way better life, I’ve gotta be strong, I’ve got to survive, People will find that I’m stuck in this state of mind, Where I’m fighting myself, I’m fighting myself, Maybe in time I will finally free my inner self, My inner self, People will find that I’m stuck in this state of mind, Where I’m fighting myself, Yeah I’m fighting myself, Maybe in time I will finally free my inner self, My inner self, Oooh,

Just Friends 03:43
It’s late at night and I think I’m losing air, From talking to myself about a girl who’s never there, I tell myself that I’m perfectly in the sane, For only ever really having one girl in my brain, No I can’t keep from falling in love, Now she’s got me again, I can’t keep, Keep on falling in love, ‘Cause we’ll only be friends, Just friends, Just friends, Just friends, Yes we’ll only be friends, Just friends, Just friends, Just friends, Yes we’ll only be friends, Every night I’m constantly losing sleep, (I’m losing sleep) From thinking ‘bout the type of guy this girl would like to meet, Is he weak or strong does he own a private beach, (she’s out of reach) When I think about a guy like that I really can’t compete, Still I can’t keep from falling in love, Now she’s got me again, I can’t keep, Keep on falling in love, ‘Cause we’ll only be friends, Just friends, Just friends, Just friends, Yes we’ll only be friends, Just friends, Just friends, Just friends, Yes we’ll only be friends, Friends may get along real nice of that much I am sure, But I am looking to get something so much more, Friends are only good if they agree to close their doors, But mine are open still ‘cause that’s what hearts are for, Still I can’t keep from falling in love, Now she’s got me again, I can’t keep, Keep on falling in love, ‘Cause we’ll only be friends, Just friends, Just friends, Just friends, Yes we’ll only be friends, Just friends, Just friends, Just friends, Yes we’ll only be friends, Just friends, Just friends, Just friends, Yes we’ll only be friends.

This Life 03:08
Tonight I’ve mistaken the road I had taken, I’ve lost where I’m going, My thoughts have been stolen, It’s strange how in this life I always give, Everything I have to the thief within, It’s strange that in this night I stumbled on, The place where all my thoughts had been withdrawn, I didn’t know I woke up sleeping, In my mind I’m always dreaming, And as I walk the empty streets at night, With only the sound of the neon lights, I begin to understand this life, Tonight I have taken the road I’d forsaken, Don’t know where I’m going, I’m following no one, It’s strange how in this life I always take, Everything I have and leave it to fate, I didn’t know I woke up sleeping, In my mind I’m always dreaming, And as I walk the empty streets at night, With only the sound of the neon lights, I begin to understand this life, I begin to understand my life.
